An added note - the jumpers that Matt is referring to are supplied with 
the MH2 and the Elecraft Proset K2 microphones - they are NOT supplied 
with the KSB2 kit.
You can use the 2 pin female 'computer' jumpers for mic configuration 
header connections that connect straight across the header.

Examples:
-- for the Elecraft microphones, connect all pins straight across and 
solder the 5.6k resistor between pins 1 and 6 on the back of the 
microphone jack.
-- for Kenwood dynamic microphones put jumpers straight across all pins 
except for mic pins 5 and 6 ( no resistor for dynamic mics)
-- for other microphones, refer to the KSB2 instructions.
-- If you have a Heil microphone (not the Elecraft variety) it will have 
an adapter - wire the mic configuration header to correspond with the 
adapter used (Kenwood, Yaesu, or Icom).
